"We welcome Yomby back to his alma mater," Dawson said. "He was a big part of some of our most successful men’s soccer teams and has went on to have a stellar professional career. He has a lot of experience to lean on as he begins his coaching career and our players will benefit first hand from his wealth of knowledge. He is excited to return to his Monarch soccer family and we are fortunate to have him as a part of our coaching staff."
